I can confirm this what Daan said, openstack needs orchestration tool to
update components in particular order. It's doable but needs pretty good
knowledge about each service and component and compatibility to each
other and versions running.
Exposing openstack api to public is not a thing I would recommend, many
clouds create their own api on top. As a consequence, tooling and
integration must be developed. an investment in time and knowledge must
be made.
Cloudstack is much easier to manage and the api can be exposed to the
public. Some public clouds based on cloudstack just have reduces the
features exposed to the api but have not changed api, though existing
integration, like orchesration and tooling can be used. Onboarding for
customers will be much better covered.

Ivet, the simplest way to put it is that cloudstack is a turnkey solution,
while openstack is a set of frameworks. You will need to have your infra
components in place, but then you can start orchestrating them without
having to write much "glueing" software to get an orchestration platform. I
don't know the current state of openstack, so an honest comparison is not
possible but this basic difference has always been there.
In addition to that your client will have to look at support matrices for
hard- and software in both.

Hello everyone,
At StorPool we have a customer interested to migrate from one cloud
management system to another. He is considering options and thinking for
OpenStack and CloudStack.
Does somebody want to share some experience with him?
Maybe some from ShapeBlue can say a few words to him about the CloudSatck
advantages. I already shared a few, but a more technical perspective will
be better.
Thank you all in advance,
